.... the bio-chemical defect associated with CF, and possible treatments of the disease. Finding the Cystic Fibrosis Gene: The classical genetic approach to finding the gene that is responsible for causing a genetic disease has been to first characterize the bio-chemical defect within the gene, then to identify the mutated protein in the gene of interest, and finally to locate the actual gene. However, this classical approach proved to be impractical when searching for the CF gene. To find the gene responsible for CF, the principle of "reverse genetics" was applied. Scientists accomplished this by linking the disease to a specific chromosome. After this linkage, they is ....

.... on the whim of a generation. As a nation, we have always attempted a degree of morality in our laws, a shared belief in what is right and wrong that is eforced by the law. We assert that to ahrm another intentionally or otherwise is wrong and deserving of punishment. Our laws condemn murderers and shun drunk drivers, charging involuntary manslaughter in the case that he/she inadvertently kills another in an accident. There are severe repercussions for rapists and assault of another person. We also often assert that to harm oneself intentionally or in a way that could have been prevented by our own precaution is wrong. These examples include the seatbelt and helmet law ....

.... the early 90's that featured a boy that had to live with this terrifying disorder. This show was very inspirational for all people with disorders. The boy's name was Corky who fought all aspects of the disorder. Them being from physical triumphs to just everyday kids harrassing him at school. The show was taken off the air in 1993 because of sponsers. Records of types of disorders are unknown along with many of other records of treatments to people inflicted with a disorder. This is mainly because in the early 1900's people thought that people with disorders were just stupid and they did not investigate further into the matter. The quanity of people that have a disord ....

.... disorders are characterized by a smorgasbord of symptoms that can be broken into manic and depressive episodes. The depressive episodes are characterized by intense feelings of sadness and despair that can become feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Some of the symptoms of a depressive episode include anhedonia, disturbances in sleep and appetite, psychomotor retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and suicide (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and of ....

.... to the youth audience in general, regardless of class or ethnic background. Raves are non-elitist, and are primarily for the working class. This makes Raves quit different from all other postmodern sub-cultures. The legalization of a Rave has not prevented the illegal taking of the drugs. This means that there are a lot of young people indulging in Rave culture and recreational drug taking every weekend. Rave has provided an environment where drugs like ecstasy are socially acceptable. Rave like other cult is self-stupefying and refuses to question the taking of the drugs affecting its continual and successful existence. “Recreational drug users often see o ....

.... it is flawed or not. Females on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, so if one is defective, they can use their second X chromosome. Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy(DMD) is defined as "a genetic disease characterized by defective muscle cells that can not produce a protein called dystrophins (Science News 380). In patients of hemophilia, there is a deficiency of a protein needed for blood clotting, causing this hereditary bleeding disorder. In red/green color blindness, the broadest form of color blindness that affects six percent of the population, the cones in the retina that receive green light do not function properly. Unlike sex linked diseases, sex influenced ....

.... hours after one parent has been notified by certified mail, however the law does not require that the parent give consent. If minor fears for her safety if her parents find out about her sexual activity, or are she can demonstrate that she is mature enough to make the decision on her own she can bypass the law by requesting a hearing before a Superior Court Judge. In implementing this act New Jersey has become the 40’Th State in the county to enforce laws requiring minors to either notify their parents or receive consent from them before having an abortion. The United States Supreme Court first declared these types of laws constitutional in 1979. Legally, The Parental No ....

.... then that person is considered to be of a high IQ. There has to be a better way. A person that has not learned a certain amount of information by a certain age is not a stupid person, they are just ignorant to some information that has not been presented to them. This can be determined by several different factors. It can be due to the school a person went to, the upbringing a person had, or even a disability that did not allow this person to have the same advantages that others had. None of these three factors make a person stupid. Yet an IQ test is based on what people know, so according to traditional IQ tests if Mary, age 12 went to a better school than Suzy age ....
